SUMMARY:Ballet Black: Shadows
DESCRIPTION:Ballet Black: Shadows\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Ballet Black: Shadows\n\n\n\nNow in its 23rd year\, Cassa Pancho’s Ballet Black makes its return to The Playhouse with an exciting new double bill including Pancho’s darkly comic adaptation of Oyinkan Braithwaite’s international bestselling novel\, My Sister\, The Serial Killer. \n\n\n\nWhen Korede gets a distress call from her sister Ayoola\, she knows what to do: bleach\, rubber gloves\, nerves of steel\, and a strong stomach. It’s the third boyfriend Ayoola has killed in “self-defense\,” and the third mess Korede has to clean up.  \n\n\n\nShe should probably go to the police\, but family comes first. Things take a turn when Ayoola begins dating the doctor Korede secretly loves\, forcing Korede to choose between saving him and betraying her sister. \n\n\n\nThe double bill is completed by Brooklyn-born\, award-winning choreographer Chanel DaSilva\, making her British choreographic debut. Renowned for using the arts to inspire meaningful change\, DaSilva has been commissioned by prestigious companies such as The Washington Ballet\, Parsons Dance Company\, and Dallas Black Dance Theatre\, and made history as the first Black woman to choreograph for The Joffrey Ballet.  \n\n\n\nIn her debut for Ballet Black\, DaSilva delves into the profound practice of shadow work\, exploring its power to reveal our true selves. Her work is celebrated for its deep exploration of humanity and its potential to inspire transformation both within the dance world and beyond. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReviews\n\n\n\nReviews of Ballet Black: HEROES 2024: \n\n\n\n\n“This is a cleverly curated double bill”. ★★★★ \n\n\n\nEdinburgh Guide \n\n\n\n\n\n“Vigorous energy and sharp technique”.  \n\n\n\nThe Stage \n\n\n\n\n\n“Triumphant and glittering performance”.  \n\n\n\nOxford Dance Writers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices:From £14.00 \n\n\n\nDates & times:Friday 25 and Saturday 26 April 2025 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nInterval:This show includes an interval. \n\n\n\nAge guidance: 12+ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Oxford Playhouse\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\nOxford Playhouse and its Burton Taylor Studio present and produce several live performances and feature a rich array of British and international dramas\, family entertainment\, contemporary dance and music\, student and amateur shows\, comedy\, lectures and poetry. \n\n\n\nThe Playhouse not only produces and tours its own theatrical productions\, but it also fosters creativity through its Artists in Residence program and the Playhouse Plays Out series\, which brings unique events to various locations across the county. \n\n\n\nThe theatre’s Participation Team engages over 15\,000 individuals annually\, offering an extensive range of activities\, including post-show discussions\, workshops\, work experience opportunities\, holiday programs\, a youth theatre\, and a company for young performers. \n\n\n\nOxford Playhouse stands dedicated to its mission of being a Playhouse for all\, striving to ignite inspiration and bring about transformative experiences through its commitment to creativity on its stages\, within its community and online. \n\n\n\nDiscover more about Oxford Playhouse\, including travel\, access and venue information.
